Details: This book presents translations of two lively and well-crafted examples of the ovī, a genre typical of the oral literature of Marathi-speaking Dhangar shepherds. These two ovīs narrate the stories of Biroba and Dhuloba, two of the most important gods of the Dhangars. Each of the ovīs tells an elaboratestory of the birth of the god—a miraculous and complicated process in both cases—and of the struggles he went through in order to find and win his bride. Moreover, an extensive Introduction provides a literary analysis of the ovīs and discusses what they reveal about the cosmology, geography, society, administrative structures and economy of the Dhangars’ world, as well as their views on pastoralists and women.
